Ok, I guess no one can figure out my gas welding problem, oh well, I'll just continue with MIG.
Anyway, the drivers side continues and it has been fairly easy, just a lot of painstaking work to make sure that the fit of the signal light is right. I am presuming that the signal light frame I bought from Porsche is the correct shape.....it matches the signal light and near as I can tell is a match for the fender cut off on the passenger side.
There is a small difference between the fenders though... pre' 73 to my '89, namely that the section beside the headlight is slightly more curved than what the earlier car was. It took me most of today to get the frame close....I will need to do a bit of hammering to get the fender out where it is supposed to be to make the signal light work.
Anyway, a question for anyone that might be reading....namely, what does the space in the signal light that the arrow points to actually do? There is no light bulb there nor is there a provision for one.
The lens has a clear section over that part of the signal light housing....I would have thought that perhaps it had a purpose?
Here is the lens....
Having never been near a backdated 911 in the dark, I actually don't have a clue about it....
Thoughts?
